And commenting on the development, the former Civil Sporting Club player said:” I am delighted to have been accepted as member of Y. S. C. C Yokohama. It is a great honor to become the first
Malawian to play in a J-League club. I will do my very best to help Y. S. C. C Yokohama win a place in J2 and become a player who can inspire the dreams of children in Malawi.
